# Tricky Towers vs Brain Code

The clearest difference is ads: Tricky Towers at none against Brain Code's shown. Tricky Towers also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (87% vs 77%). Brain Code's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 29). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tricky Towers sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Brain Code sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Code holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Code has 1.1K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Tricky Towers's written reviews are positive against 77% of Brain Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tricky Towers ships an update every 3 days, Brain Code monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
